[Tigers] Front Suspension

[Wally Menke]

Hi Joel 

I had the same problem a few years ago now. It turned out the brand new
lower ball joints that I had purchased from SS were as good as ceased from
new! I replaced them with the original ones which were in perfect order and
solved the problem and binned the new ones.

Subject: [Tigers] Front Suspension

Since it has been so quiet, I thought I would throw one out.  My front
suspension is sooo stiff and the height is 2-3 inches in my mind higher than
it should be.  Rebuilt suspension, welded up per CAT instructions, stock
springs, Koni shocks - old and all new rubber etc.

 

The front has no bounce at all.  First idea is to loosen upper and lower
control arm bolts, drive just a bit and then re-tighten.  Can you put the
front anti sway bar on upside down - not sure is could be a problem or not.
Bushing grease on all new rubber?

 

Thoughtsideas would be appreciated.
